Movie Review - The Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)
The Wolverine (12A)
Bless Hugh Jackman. It�s his sixth outing as the mutton-chopped, muscle-popping mutant and you can understand the Oscar-nominated actor is keen as mustard to bring a little more depth to the role.
He spent 12 years earnestly producing this X-Men spin-off which, as every Marvel fanboy knows, is based on the 1980s Samurai mini series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller (who also wrote The Dark Knight Returns).
For the rest of you, this is the one where Wolverine goes to Japan to say goodbye to an old friend, who is actually scheming to get his mitts on the genetic secret of the Wolverine�s superhuman self-healing powers.
There are fights, there are special effects, there are more ninjas than sense, there�s glorious rolling acres of Jackman torso and there is an awesome fight atop a speeding 300mph bullet train. But yet� it somehow manages to be pretty much a yawn fest.
�This Wolverine is more interior, more restrained � a little darker,� Jackman has said of a film where Wolverine spends a good 40 minutes stumbling around in a beard attempting to look vulnerable (a tall task when you look like a small fortress built from 100 per cent prime beef), being tortured by nightmares about his dead beloved (Famke Janssen in a floatie nightie) and longing to join her. When will folk learn that �dark� doesn�t necessarily mean �profound� � just �profoundly dull�?
Director James �Walk The Line� Mangold sucks Jackman�s screen presence of its natural expansive charisma. Where�s the warmth? The heart? Or any sense of wit? A multimillion dollar pile of tedium.

American Hustle Official Trailer
The first trailer for American Hustle � which reunites Silver Linings Playbook stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence with director David O Russell � has been released.
The two-minute clip gives away little about the film�s actual plot, with much of it consisting of footage cut together to the Led Zeppelin hit Good Times Bad Times.
However there is a scene involving Cooper and Christian Bale � complete with 70s-era sideburns � in which Bale�s character Irving Rosenfeld, a con artist with interests in stolen art, explains to Cooper how to identify a fake Rembrandt in a gallery.
�The guy who did this was so good that it�s real � to everybody,� he explains. �Now who�s the master? The painter�.or the forger?�
The film, which also stars Amy Adams, Robert de Niro and Jeremy Renner, focuses on the FBI�s infamous Abscam operation of the late 70s and early 80s, which ultimately led to the conviction of a US senator and five members of the US government�s House of Representatives.
Lawrence stars as Rosalyn Rosenfeld, the wife of Bale�s character, while Cooper will play FBI agent Richie DiMaso.
American Hustle is due for release in December � and is tipped as another potential Oscar contender following the awards love given to Silver Linings Playbook.
That film won Lawrence the Oscar for best actress in February, while Cooper also received a best actor nomination for his role.
The pair will also be reunited on screen as husband and wife in the Depression-era drama Serena, which does not yet have a confirmed UK release date.

Anne Hathaway
At the Les Miserables premiere in New York City on Dec. 10, 2012, the film's leading lady accidentally flashed photographers while exiting her car outside the Ziegfeld Theatre. "It was obviously an unfortunate incident," she said on the TODAY show following the media attention.
Britney Spears
Oops, she did it again! While watching her son's soccer game in March 2013, the singer went without underwear and flashed her butt when the wind blew up her super-short dress.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Dare to bare! The actress rocked a sidebutt-baring dress to the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 3 in April 2013, but had to ditch underwear to pull it off. "I kind of had a disaster," she later told Ellen DeGeneres. "I was doing a show and I changed there, and I went and I couldn't wear underwear. Let's just say, everyone went scrambling for a razor."

Sunny Leone's XXX moves
Here's the latest feather in Sunny's ever expanding cap of new experiences. She's signed on for an energy drink that's quiet aptly named. Now don't go reading us the riot act for it, but it's called XXX.
We're left wondering if the drink was named before or after Sunny signed on as its brand ambassador.
Seen here posing wildly along side her special new energy drink, Sunny looks like a desi bedazzled Barbie doll.
Now there's one for the shutterbugs to stutter over for the next decade. Sunny enjoys her moment in the spotlight.
While we're left wondering what she could possibly do next, this is Sunny Leone we're talking about, there's no telling where this Indian-origin Canadian film star will try next.
Anyone have any thoughts on what Sunny will need all the energy for? Now, now, think happy thoughts!

Celebrity wardrobe malfunction moments
Here's what happens when you sport something too short or too daring, you risk showing off more than you planned to!
Thank gosh there isn't much to spill, but Emma Watson manages to pop out a fair bit.
And then came Eva Longoria. Looking prim and proper in a thigh high slitted dress. She was so perfect. The look, the poise - everything spoke subtle sensuality. And then the disaster stuck.
Poor Jennifer Lawrence's gown took a massive beating when she stepped up to get her award. Torn or intact, we'd still be looking at Ms. Lawrence.
The Royal mom-to-be has a wardrobe slipup in the cold Spring winds of England.
The Ugly Truth's Katherine Heigl keeps her cool at an awards ceremony when her dress strap gives way. Now that's how you handle it!
After leaving little to the imagination in most outfits, Megan Fox tries to salvage her modesty in this treacherous outfit.
It's hard not to look at Ms. Perry's big wardrobe gaffe. The singer however seemed oblivious to her popping breast.
At the age of 48, Oscar winner Sandra Bullock threw caution to the wind and sported a daring Victoria Beckham outfit. Sadly the tacky bra showing had her going from daring to trashy. Anyone else ...
Alia missing some essential undergarment?

Sharon Stone has never beat around the bush about not being a fan of the bra and by the looks of it, she practices what she preaches.
At a recent party in Cannes, the Basic Instinct star went braless and bare. But given her track record in showing off her assets, it's not too surprising, is it?
